There is currently a single White-winged Scoter on the north side of Lake Waconia. It is viewable from the paved bike trail on the north side of the lake. The best place to search for the bird is along the east end of the paved trail immediately to the east end of the black chain-link fence that parallels part of the trail.
Note that I originally thought this was a Surf Scoter, but after scrutinizing the bird for about 20 minutes it finally showed enough of its wing while preening to see the white wing patch.
